Found a GOOD deal, Need to know my options

[Riley Billings]

Hey BP Community!

In my area I recently came across a fourplex that would be a great buy-and-hold investment with minimal rehab costs (numbers found below). The property that I found is not an option for house hacking so I wanted to open this discussion to talk about how you made the deal possible if you only had $5,000 to invest. 

Here are the numbers: 

List Price - $395,000

P & I - $1,419

Vacancy (5%) - $171.25

Property Management (10%) - $325.38

Property Tax - $166

Insurance - $66

Maintenance & Cap Ex - $200

Total Monthly Rent - $3,425

Monthly Net Operating Income = $1,083.39

Down Payment (20%) and closing costs ($3,000) = $82,000

Now these are just rough numbers so feel free to correct them as needed. Taxes and insurance were taken from other deals in the area and the county tax assessor website. 

If you needed $82,000 as a down payment how would you make this deal possible??? Partner with someone who has the money and provide 100% of the hustle?

@Riley Billings The first thing I would do is underwrite the market. There are many great resources out there that will help you do a market analysis. Look at population trends, employment trends, housing trends, etc. Remember that high cap rates mean high risk. Have you spoken with a lender already? Most larger institutions will require 25% DP for a fourplex. What interest rate did you use? Me personally, I would use between 5-5.25% (before points). Also, I would verify the actual rents for that area. You can accomplish this using either the MLS or talking to a local property manager.

Is this an off market deal?
